 The city's and towns expense for -tosmor- TOW having already exceeded the appropria- ton by $2, 900, an effort was started yester- day to raise the deficit by private subscrip- tion. General E. E. Bradley visited among others President Clark of the Consolidated road who said that the railroad company had already given a large share of the cost of transporting the brigade here, but came down with $500 check-a very handsome begin ming thus having been made.

 Tonight the great reception given under the auspices of the Grand Army takes place at the Upion armory, Meadow street. The programme will be necessarilTa an informal one, but the following will be present, most of whom will Eff the spirit moves them," as it undoubtedly will in most cases, come for ward and say something: Generals Sherman and Sheridan Rear Admiral Porter, Gener- als Schoield and Terry, Admiral Nicholson, Major Generals Franklin, Slocum, Hawley, Horace Porter, Couch, Greeley, Colonel Grant, Lieutenant Farragut, the Revs. Fl. o. Trumbull and E. W. Anderson, and Eugene Morehouse, division commander of the Sons of Veterans; also Commander-in-C Chief Fair child, head of the national department G. A.

There will be half hour con- cert by the American band of Providence, lasting from half-past eight o'clock to nine, k<% %1,o great demand for the tickets and responsi- bility of seating the multitude who will at tend, it was decided to omit the presence of heavens best gift to man; in other words no ladies will be present, only the men. This determination on the part of the old soldiers hss been in vain, attempted to be shaken by the ladies' They have importuned in vain and sought to carry their point by storm, but all unavailingly. The old soldiers used to battle were indsxible, although none are so proverbially gallant to the ladies, and it has been sore trial for them to exclude the la dies from the reception. However, they will have good chance to see the great naval captains and admirals in the line of procession tomorrow. There will be no singing at the reception tonight. Lemonade will be passed around in the au- dience as far as is practicable. List of Officers on Board the North Atlantic Fleet at Anchor Inside the
